“It is I, proclaiming victory,
    mighty to save.”^(E)

⁵ My sword^(A) has drunk its fill in the heavens;
    see, it descends in judgment on Edom,^(B)
    the people I have totally destroyed.^(C)
6 The sword^(D) of the Lord is bathed in blood,
    it is covered with fat—
the blood of lambs and goats,
    fat from the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice^(E) in Bozrah^(F)
    and a great slaughter^(G) in the land of Edom.

⁷ Remember, Lord, what the Edomites^(A) did
    on the day Jerusalem fell.^(B)
“Tear it down,” they cried,
    “tear it down to its foundations!”^(C)

² Why are your garments red,
    like those of one treading the winepress?^(A)

³ “I have trodden the winepress^(B) alone;
    from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled^(C) them in my anger
    and trod them down in my wrath;^(D)
their blood spattered my garments,^(E)
    and I stained all my clothing.

¹⁹ God is not human,^(A) that he should lie,^(B)
    not a human being, that he should change his mind.^(C)
Does he speak and then not act?
    Does he promise^(D) and not fulfill?

“For three sins of Edom,^(A)
    even for four, I will not relent.
Because he pursued his brother with a sword^(B)
    and slaughtered the women of the land,
because his anger raged continually
    and his fury flamed unchecked,^(C)
12 I will send fire on Teman^(D)
    that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah.^(E)”
